The South Atlantic League has announced its awards for the week of April 15-21. The recipient of the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week is Asheville Tourists lefty Ryan Rolison.
The Jackson, Tennessee native made one start last week, in Hickory, and tossed six shutout innings en route to his second win of the campaign. Rolison allowed just two hits, struck out seven, and did not walk a batter. The lefty retired the first 16 batters he faced in the 2-0 Tourists win.
The former Ole Miss Rebel was 2-1 with a 0.61 ERA through three starts with Asheville. Rolison was recently promoted from Asheville to High-A Lancaster and is set to start for the JetHawks tonight. Rolison was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the first round of the 2019 June draft with the 22nd overall selection.
The Tourists return to Asheville on Tuesday, April 30 to begin a seven-game homestand. Tickets are available by contacting the McCormick Field ServPro Box Office or through the ticketing website.
